The Materials Show: What to Expect
A New Year Brings New Foams From INSITE®
If there’s one constant about the footwear business, it’s that footwear is always changing. The NE and NW Materials Shows are the industry’s chance to catch up with the fast-paced world of footwear innovation. And INSITE’s got the product and service to meet your need for speed.
At this season’s shows, we’re featuring insole foams and biomechanics testing to keep both your customers and your footwear production moving forward. Here’s a sneak peek.
Levation™ Rebound 0.20D Poured PU Foam
If you’ve been following us on socials, you’ve probably heard us rave about the new Levation™ Rebound 0.20D poured PU material. The reason is simple: we love this foam! It delivers the perfect balance of shock absorption and energy return to keep your momentum going, even on unforgiving terrain. It’s great for lightweight specialty shoes or casual wear, from trail running and hiking, to trainers and everyday sneakers.
Swing by the booth to grab test plaques or insole samples, and experience it for yourself.
Upcoming Pulsion® Innovations
Our innovation team has been working on new products to expand our Pulsion range of high rebound materials, including supercritical processes and new chemistries beyond EVA. If you’re in the market for cushioning with next-level energy return and response, we just might have something in the works for you. Let’s chat!
The INSITE Research & Design Lab (Los Angeles)
For several years, INSITE was graciously hosted by university biomechanics labs to administer our ProvenComfort® product testing. Now, we’re proud to say we’ve got our own home! The INSITE Research & Design Lab in Los Angeles lets us scale up our testing and iterate on product faster, so we can be an even better innovation partner to you. Get a glimpse inside through photos and videos, and get inspired.
